onejayhawk Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I changed the title to cover all forms of player movement. We are in the postseason but also the off-season. Talent acquisition has racheted up a notch. In the last few days the team has signed list of players.https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/1/11/22879151/chiefs-activate-joshua-kaindoh-from-ir-sign-lorenzo-neal-jr-darius-stills-and-others-for-2022 The Chiefs have also (in addition to reactivitng Joshua Kaindo) signed seven players to Reserve/Futures contracts for 2022: wide receivers Omar Bayless, Gary Jennings and Mathew Sexton, defensive tackles Darius Stills and Lorenzo Neal Jr., tight end Jordan Franks and running back Brenden Knox. Stills is the son of former Chiefs defensive end Gary Stills, who played for the team from 1999 through 2005. And yes... Neal is the “Junior” to the All-Pro fullback who had a 16-year career with seven different NFL teams — most notably the then-San Diego Chargers from 2003 through 2008. As of 1 February, the draft situation Round 1, Pick 30 Round 2, Pick 30 Round 3, Pick 30 Round 3, TBD (compensatory pick for Ryan Poles) Round 4, Pick 30 Round 7, Pick 12 (via Minnesota) Round 7, Pick 21 (via Las Vegas from New England) Round 7, Pick 30 Edited February 2, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) The story continues. The Chiefs released four players from PS. This is usualy in anticipation of acquisitions, eg Austin Edwards and Prince Tego Wahnogho in 2021. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/01/19/kansas-city-chiefs-josh-jackson-nakia-griffin-stewart-shilique-calhoun-elijah-sullivan-released/ Players released. -TE Nakia Griffin-Stewart -DE/LB Shilique Calhoun -DB Josh Jackson -LB Elijah Sullivan Among other moves, the Chiefs signed DT Andrew Billings and OT Roderick Johnson to PS. https://chiefswire.usatoday.com/2022/01/19/kansas-city-chiefs-andrew-billings-roderick-johnson-signed-elijah-mcguire-released/ Edited January 20, 2022 by onejayhawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Guy Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 one more .. DB Damon Arnette, a 2020 first round pick by the Raiders. Quote Arnette, a cornerback who went to the Raiders with the 19th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft, was a huge disappointment and was released in November of 2021 after a video surfaced of him displaying a gun and making threats. But the Chiefs decided to give Arnette a chance by signing him to a reserve/futures contract today, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

kingseanjohn Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Also signed a DE. I'll have to go back and see if I scouted him before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onejayhawk Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Yet another 1st round CB. In this case it's not an injury problem, rather off the field--making threats on camera and brandishing guns. 1 hour ago, kingseanjohn said: Hate this signing with a passion. I get that. We already have one gun-related situation. I really like the Joe Jackson signing. He's the long-'n-lean sort of DE that Spagnuolo prefers. If nothing else, he's insurance for Alez Okafor.

Clark wasn’t threatening to kill people on a live stream with his gun. Plus I never really liked his talent coming out. Bad player and worse person imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefer Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Another in a long list of Andy Reid reclamation projects. I actually decently liked Arnette in the draft, be interesting to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Today is one of the red circle days. In this case it's for reserve/futures contracts. This article gives a short note on each of the 13 players the Chiefs signed. Many are familiar. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2022/2/2/22915098/chiefs-sign-13-players-to-reserve-future-contracts-on-wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingseanjohn Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 So we lost Kafka to the Giants OC job. Now EB getting an interview... If EB gets hired we only gain one additional 3rd round pick for 2024 since we already got two for Poles. But more importantly, who would we elevate to OC? Glancing at the coaching roster, no one really stands out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always confused me some guys I’d see Reid in the headset, other games Eric B. I doubt Reid has a shortage of guys in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
